What is the difference between Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion? Also any examples of them

Chemistry

6 0

Answer:

Hiya there!

Explanation:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

For example, uranium can fission to yield strontium and krypton. Fusion joins atomic nuclei together. The element formed has more neutrons or more protons than that of the starting material. For example, hydrogen and hydrogen can fuse to form helium.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

17.1 L

Explanation:

V1/T1=V2/T2

V2=(V1*T2)/T1

V2= (12.0L * 337K)/237K

V2=17.1L

How are a sodium atom and a sodium ion alike?
grigory [225]
They are not allike as na atom has 11 elctrons and Na ion has 10 electons. <span>They both have the same nucleus (same number of protons and neutrons). The only difference is that the ion has one less electron than the atom (in this case).</span>

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 4.97. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of
motikmotik

Answer:

16.9 mmoles are needed to add to the solution

Explanation:

To solve this, we can apply the Henderson Hasselbach equation:

Acetic acid → CH₃COOH

CH₃COOH  +  H₂O  ⇄  CH₃COO⁻   +  H₃O⁺             Ka

That is the acid base equilibrium, to determine the amount:

pKa of acetic acid is 4.74

Henderson Hasselbach formula is:

pH = pKa + log (base/acid)

We replace  →  4.97 = 4.74 + log (B / 10mmoles)

Let's verify mmoles of B

4.97 - 4.74 = log (B/10)

0.23 =  log (B/10)

10^(0.23) = 10^(log (B/10)

1.698 = B/10

B = 1.698 . 10 → 16.9 mmoles
